Candy Day

Saturday - it was the day for candy making! Billy loves to bake, and lucky for him, so do I. Melting chocolate is one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen. Whenever I melt chocolate I always have thoughts of the beginning of the original Willy Wonka movie, remember all that chocolate flowing?! While I dipped pretzels and oreos Billy made English toffee. I swear sometimes that everything that boy touches turns to gold - he really has a gift.But the best thing about Christmas baking,Is thinking about who with get all the treats.All of it was made with love,And all is delicious to boot.This is Christmas week friends, I hope you are having fun with your families. It has really occurred to me - we don't get to go back in time, it is a blessing to be able to spend time with others while we can. I am feeling extra thankful lately, hope you are too.
